I have been blocking sites, emails and phone numbers for years.
I check and delete my spam folder every few days.

Appearing randomly on your Home Screen.

There are a couple o apps that source a database for spam caller ID. They will notify you and you can start to block numbers, but beyond that, maybe contact your carrier?

I don't think I handed my number to them. They may have bought random blocks of numbers from the phone company. Unscrupulous bastards.

I set my contact list as priority in the rules setting for my phone. I do not answer any numbers that are not on that list. I put little graphics of cats in each name in my phone directory. So if it comes up without a picture I do not answer it. I am getting much fewer unwanted calls now.
